Another fantastic bit of Mitchell, and a brilliant line about food in care homes.

I laughed out loud in my office when you said that.

When my boss asked me why I was laughing, I was forced to admit I’d been watching the show.

Rather than bollocking me, he asked to see it, and he nearly wet himself. He’s now subscribed.

That’s what you call a result!

My grandfather took the sensible precaution of blowing his beans up my grandmother before he set out to war, so my mother would already have been around even if he had bought it sausage-side, which he thankfully didn’t.

Although he’s now possibly wishing he had, as the treatment in his old people’s home is rather poorer than he received from the PoW camp he spent three years in.

Funny old life, as he likes to say.

Much better than someone dancing to fame

Hah! What a funny show…well done chanelflip

Classic Mitchell!

Loved the background choice, hilarious yet disturbing?!

My maternal grandmother lived to be 101 years old, and she spent her last few years in the nursing home where my mum worked. She was well taken care of (apart from the food) but since then the number of residents has grown and the number of staff hasn’t… by the time my mum may require full-time care there will probably only be one nurse per 50 residents! At this rate by the time I require one the residents will forced to look after each other?!

Our respect for our elders has been trampled by “cost effectiveness”, with the only justice being that the people who were too cheap to hire more staff will one day reap the rewards, as they sit in their armchair waiting to have the diaper changed. For 5 hours.

Loved the background choice, hilarious yet disturbing.

As an adolescent myself, I always find it very strange that I adopt an attitude towards other youths, which is undeniably similar to that of a crippled, incontinent, resentful old bag. Our society is most certainly dedicated to benefiting the future generations, who repay us by incessantly declaring that they are so badly done by and happy slapping their elders to an early grave. And all the while our country attempts to invent more and more ways in which to help these arrogant young creatures, poor granny and her nylon stockings are left dribbling away the last of themselves in some god forsaken care home. The reason that dear Nana and Granddad constantly bicker about their past sacrifices, and protest that nobody respects what they’ve done for our future is simply because we have begun to neglect them altogether, and so phone calls at two in the morning when Grandpa Frank has forgotten to take his medication and is ranting on about his participation in the war, is simply an illustration of just how miserably lonely he has become now that Deirdre’s dead and you don’t visit him anymore with cream cakes and murray mints.
Some people may argue that the youth of our world is the generation we must take greatest care of, because they are the future, the plan B in reproduction when all our mothers embark on the dreaded ‘change,’ and all of this is undeniably true. However we cannot just turn our backs on those who are victims of age. No matter how mentally deranged or physically incapable our elders may be, despite their far-fetched and most likely inventory stories of the blitz, they are still people, and we should ensure they live out the rest of their years in comfort and contentment. After all where there’s a ‘WILL,’ there’s a way!!

I think that to get the mortgage loans from creditors you must present a firm reason. However, one time I have got a secured loan, just because I was willing to buy a house.
